The walls of kitchen should al
ways be painted, and light color is to
be preferred. They win need washing
twice year, or at the most every three
months. If they are plastered or cal
cimined, it is good plan to tack clean
newspapers just back of the tabs and
table to protect the walls as much as
possible, and we have seen coarse
crash aud cheese-cloth used for this
purpose. -Hagper's Bdzar.
There is no fixed rule for milking
kicking cows, but correspondent in
an exchange names the following as
his method: Approach the cow
whistling, singing or talking, to attract
her attention. Lean gently against
her side and tell her to ''hoist.n Place
the head against her and adjust the
stool, sit down and gently grasp the
farther fore teat, then the near one.
and with the head still resting against
her, keep milking and whistling until
the job is done.-7roy Times.
Potato soup: Take four good sized
potatoes, peel and cut in small pieces,
boil in little water until well done,
pour.of the water and add one quart
of sweet milk, salt and pepper to taste,
thicken with two tablespoonfuls of
flour, let come to boil, and serve
while hot. Mash with milk instead of
water, as it is more tasty and whole
some. Two quarts sweet milk; when
boiling sift in enough corn meal to
make stiff batter, add two spoonfuls
salt and one-half teaspoonful soda; boil
fifteen minutes and serve with rich,
sweet milk. - Good Housekeeping.
Indian fritters: Put three table
spoonfuls of flour into basin and potlr
over it sufficient boiling water to make
stiff paste, but take care to beat it
well to prevent it from getting lumpy
Let it stand while to cool, and then
break into it without any previous
beating the yelks of four eggs and the
whites of two, stirring and beating all
well together. Have ready some boil
ing dripping, or lard if you prefer tc
fry with that, and drop dessert spoon
fuls of the batter into it, frying light
brown. They should rise so as to be
almost as round as balls Serve on a
hot dish with a spoonful of jam between
each fritter. Boston Bulletin.

KICKING HORSES,
Directions for Preventing Them from Being
Unruly While in the shafts.


A kicker is dangerous piece of
property, and when the habit is con-
firmed it will be better to consign the
subject to the horse-car stables. The
habit can sometimes be broken up by
the following method: Take small
cord about two-thirds the size. Of a
mans little finger and twenty feet in
length; double it; place the center
upon the top of the head, back of the
ears, bring down on each side of the
face, place the cords in the animal s
mouth and cross them, bring them up
between the eyes, cross again, and slip
both ends through a small ring or loop
and carry the ring down to a point
where the lines cross between the eyes
so as 10 hold them in place, Have two
small rings sewed TO the headstall
about two inches apart, and one ring
an inch or SO in diameter fastened to
the backstrapof the harness at the point
where the hipstraps pass through. The
latter can be slipped over the crupper
against the hipstraps, which viii keep
it from slipping forward. Pass one end
of the cord through each ring on the
headstall, bring the ends together,
carry them along the neck, pass them
under the saddle, extend them along
the back and through the ring over the
hips, then bring one end down TO tho
right shaft and the other to the left, and
fasten securely to the shafts, leaving
slack enough SO the animal can travel
easily. When rugged in this manner
every attempt to kick viii bring a
strong pressure upon the cords crossed
in the mouth and divert the attention
of the frisky subject.-American Guilt

CITY SANITATION.
An Important Movement Towards I'M
proving the General Health
of the City.


proFlns 'ue i"l fiee'i'h
OF the City,
IL will be remembered that at the last
meeting of the city council Mr.. John
Cavanaugh. Of the San Antonio Sanitary
and Fertilizing company, presented q
petition to the council asking it TO adopt
CarricO's patent odorless dry clubhouse.
AS IL is important at this season, when
the citizens are considering he question
of sanitation, that the best system be
adopted, LIGHT reporter was detailed
to examine the CarricO system, and to
report the result OF his examination. On
his mission he examined the working
model exhibited at the Sanitary and
Fertilising cOmpaDy's office, PIP LOsoyO
street, the clubhouse In daily use at the
patentee's residence, 9l2 Avenue G, and
the plans for the said buildings. The
plans provide for vault sufficiently
large to hold one or more of the large
barrels, and to admit oftheir being hidden
from view, and at the same time being
easily accessible to the sanitary in
spector for examination. This vault Ia
lined with three feet concrete portland
Cement, which the medical faculty have
declared to be the best for such purpose,
therefore il any urine or focal matter
should escape through the overfilling OF
the barrel, it cannot pass through the
col crete, and is easily cleansed. Another
advantage of this concrete is that we'll
may be adjacent and cannot be in any
way corrupted by the feoal matter, be-
coming injurious to the health. TO the
seat is affixed funnel shaped recepticle
and that is connected with pipe that
passes into the barrel, and is easily dis
connected. TO the lid of the seat is
fitted patent "sealer," so that when
the lid is closed the vault is practically
sealed. The gases that necessarily
CoDgregste in the barrels are removed
by pipe extending from below the
seat and carried right out of the house
by strong current, as fast as they con-
gregate, and at the same time removing
all offensive OdOr.
The advantage of the CsrrioO system
was seen by the reporter last night
at time and under conditions
that would show its defects. He
descended into the vault at Mr..
CarriCO's residence and could not
detect any traces of an offensive smell,
at the same time q neighbours closet
constructed upon the old principle,
smelled abOminably.
Another advantage is the ease with
which the clubhouse can be cleaned.
You have only TO raise the covering of
the vault, discOnnect the barrel, LlaCe
on q small truck on wheels, and is easily
brought back; it is then Theoretically
sealed, hoisted by pulley and rope, and
put In the wagon to be taken away.
